            Bug ID: 28693
           Summary: Less keystrokes for often-used commands
           Product: gdb
           Version: 11.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: koen at kdvelectronics dot eu
  Target Milestone: ---

I'd like to ask a feature request. Two small things that would make life easier
for those who use gdb with embedded systems.

- autocompletion for 'target extended-remote' if the third argument begins with
a slash. E.g. provide tab autocompletion for 'tar ext
/dev/myverylongdevicename', but not for 'tar ext :3000'

- a .gdbinit setting to automatically run 'compare-sections' after 'load', to
quickly find problems when flashing firmware.

Thank you for gdb. Wishing you a Happy Christmas.

It's better to file two separate bugs for different requests.
Anyway for the patch, see the contribution guidelines if you
want it to be put in.

Also another way to do this might be the "hookpost" command.
